Andrew Jackson: The Price You Must Pay To Secure the Blessing Of Liberty

But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.
It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States as well as in the Federal Government.
The power which the moneyed interest can exercise, when concentrated under a single head and with our present system of currency, was sufficiently demonstrated in the struggle made by the Bank of the United States.
It is one of the serious evils of our present system of banking that it enables one class of society—and that by no means a numerous one—by its control over the currency, to act injuriously upon the interests of all the others and to exercise more than its just proportion of influence in political affairs.
Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, 1837

  1. For
    those interested in a compendium of the lies that were perpetrated by
    the Main Stream Media beginning with Wolf Blitzer on the night of
    December 14, 2012 and ending with the President's official response
    “less than a hundred days” after the event that occurred at (a)
    Sandy Hook Elementary School on 12-14-12, you are invited to review
    the micromentary “Sandy Hook Memorial” on Youtube.
